Traversed by the breathtaking South West Coastal Path the Hartland Peninsula is a constant source of inspiration, a place to find peace and tranquillity yet close to many popular destinations.

Hartland village was one of the largest royal manors in the Saxon time of King Alfred.

Today the village still preserves an individual character, encouraged by an active year long community which historically lives off the land and the sea. Nowadays it is a thriving community with artists and crafts people.

Close by, Hartland Quay; one of the most spectacular coastal scenery and geology in North West Europe, and of course, Hartland Point; one of the boldest headlands on the English Coast standing 350 feet above the sea!

The famous “Cathedral of North Devon” St Nectan’s church also lies on the peninsula.

For those of you who wish to venture a little further afield, the renowned Village of Clovelly is worth exploration. Here fascinating history, wonderful walks, traditional crafts and of course the famous Clovelly donkeys await you...

Nature lovers will be inspired by “ Beautiful Lundy Island” a precious jewel lying 12 miles off shore where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Bristol Channel with nothing between it and America.

Around the South West coastline there are numerous opportunities for surfing, sailing, cycling, swimming and for those memorable walks...

North Devon’s lush pastures and rugged coastlines produce some of the tastiest food and drink, their magnificent flavours crafted by a gentle climate and artisan skills ensure a “gastronomic delight”

The Hartland Peninsula is well known for its unspoilt beauty and tranquillity. Exploring this part of the British Isles offers the ideal way to appreciate it, giving the opportunity to get into the heart of the landscape and really feel part of the environment...

A last minute booking for a long weekend away and wow what a find! These lovely little cottages are all that you would need and more, the hot tub and sauna are a very welcome addition for the adults after the days adventures. The cottages are ideally located as you can walk through well laid out footpaths straight to Hartland Peninsula where the views are simply stunning. We then walked the coastal paths and back, the children thoroughly loved exploring, the waterfalls, the woods, just about everything. As they raced back to the cottage they still had the energy to play on the climbing frames
I was well in need of the hot tub!
The owners of the cottage were warm and friendly and simply could not do enough to help, this included lighting the wood burner so that the cottage was toasty.
We will return for longer next time!

The Shippen is cosy and homely, it was quite an effort to leave the house! Penny was welcoming and flexible, the setting is peaceful and very rural. We loved the range cooker, the selection of books were irresistible, the beds were extremely comfortable. The house feels very homely.

The cottage was very comfortable, with all facilities required, and beautifully clean. The owners were very welcoming ( including a cream tea!), and went out of their way to give us, plus our dog, a lift to the start of one day's walk. We couldn't have asked for a better short break away from home, and would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. Thank you so much!
